New braces for Marlee and ending the soccer season

Marlee just started phase 2 in his braces adventure, the bottom jaw. I took a quick picture while his mouth was free from “equipment” and then they put on the new braces. They honestly look like torture equipment. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of the new braces.  I’ll be back!

One of the soccer teams has Swedish soccer jerseys because they were the cheapest jerseys on Amazon  When I get to the video upload there will be some soccer videos :-)

Ice cream after the last game. All the boys’ teams got second place. 

Beach days

We are still finishing up school but also enjoying the beach more and the boys still have soccer.

Marlee woth his buddies.

Noah with his buddies.

David with his buddy.

I got new Padua furniture for my birthday so the boys put them together when they arrived. So nice!! Gabriel was on a trip with Alex when they arrived or he would have loved to build them. Noah and Rafael did most of the work.

She now eats some solids, and she really likes it!

More beach! And splash pad.

My birthday and the foundation has been poured!

We went out to see the frames for the foundation of our house and metal barn. Went back almost a week later and the foundation was poured!! It took so long because there were a lot of rainy days.  

Maria at the soccer field.

My birthday was rainy in Florida, but it was great and sunny in Sweden, as it is always is at my birthday in Sweden. 

Taking a walk saving earth worms from the puddles of water.

Dinner at the Japanese steak house. The boys asked the waiters to come sing and play the gong gong for me. 😠 Except for that we had a great night! :-)

The foundation is being poured (our builder sent this picture, it was early early morning).

Noah has started to play the base :-) He doesn’t want me to take pictures of him so this is all I have. 

We went out to see the new foundations!!

The foundation for the house.

Happy boys on our land :-)

Maria 9 month and Mother’s Day

The other weekend there was an Art in the park festival in Ormond. We went and it was a lot of fun. It was in the Rockefeller park and the old house was open for the public. I was had never been in it but it was just as beautiful inside as outside. There was a “balloon man” in the house and David was very excited. Even though he has at least two brothers who are great at doing balloon animals, too.

An old picture of Ormond. The big road is Granada boulevard. 

I put her on a blanket to keep her out of the sand… She did not stay there…

April 30 she was 9 months!!! (Yes, I’m behind!)

Just a pretty cool cloud.

Gabriel made me a board game for Mother’s day :-)

Mothers’s day at church. One of our members always brings a lot of beautiful hats that all the ladies wear on Mother’s Day :-)

Coop graduation with Richard the Lionheart and F1 in Miami :-)

It’s the time of the year when coops end but we still keep doing school at home. The subject that normally takes the longest to get done with is math. One of my favorite subjects!

Science at coop

For graduation at cc Gabriel was Richard the Lionheart. Everyone at his level (Essentials) pick a person to make a presentation on.  

 

Graduation at Blue Oak. Noah was there, too, but he just does not want to be in front of the camera 🙁 Marlee was down in Miami with a friend ao he kissed graduation this year. 

Can you find David, Rafael, Gabriel and Noah?

Marlee driving on the Highway on the way to Miami with his friend and his dad and brother. They went down there to see part of the F1!!
